Wedding Traditions
Hearing this was kind of bizarre to me because it seems dangerous, especially for a child to be present.
What wedding traditions does your culture practice?
What wedding traditions have you heard of that have stuck in your head - whether shocking or sweet?

For me, I love the tradition of having your father walk you down the aisle. When I got married, my dad walked me down, and it was significant to me because he was rock growing up. Now, he didn't "give me away" since I don't believe in that. I chose my hubby. So, my dad walked me most of the walk and we turned, hugged and he gave me kiss on my forehead before I finished my walk to my hubby. I loved it!

Nice! Thank you for sharing.hsimone wrote:Hm...I had no idea. Guess you learn something everyday. I guess what shocked me more is having a child in the same room since they may not be as observant as an adult.

In my wedding, my mom and my mother in law walked me down. My father and my father in law walked my hubby.

Aw...that is so sweet! Thank you for sharing.
One of our friends had both of her mom and dad walk her down. I love the different ways people incorporate old traditions!

After this a wedding date is set and its a whole day affair. You start at the church and later retire to an afternoon reception where guests eat, dance and give for he newly weds gifts.
A few friends go for evening/ night reception just to drink and dance with the couple.
